I just heard Ringo Starr's song "Back off Boogaloo" today on Cable TV 70's radio !! Great song, I haven't heard it in a long time!! I was really noticing how great and cool the guitar playing was in this song! Anyone know who it was??

George was one underrated guitarist. He even played on a Cheech and Chong number...

He was called "The Quiet Beatle" for a reason. Unlike the other three, he preferred to keep a low profile from the public eye. He also grew increasingly unsatisfied with the music industry throughout the 1980's. There's a reason why, until the release of Brainwashed in 2002, he had no new material after The Traveling Wilburys.

No doubt George Harrison was a talented musician. One thing I've always thought was interesting is that after The Go Go's broke up and that group all went their separate ways. Belinda Carlisle (lead singer of the Go Go's) had several solo hits after that, and I remember somehow her producer got George Harrison to play sitar on one of them. And of course at the moment I can't remember which song it was. Oh well, maybe somebody else will. I'll remember it eventually.
